WATER SPORTS
Use Caution with skier in tow as the tow as the tow rope may snap back into
cockpit when released. Ski pulon is for skiing, wake and knee boarding only. All
other recreational towables use transom stern eyes. Do not tow other boats or use
for parasailing See labels on ski pylon for additional warnings.
Water skiing, kneeboarding, or riding a towed, inflatable apparatus are some of the
more popular water sports. Taking part in any water sport requires increased safety
awareness by the participant and the boat operator. If you have never pulled some-
one behind your boat before, it is a good idea to spend some hours as an observer,
working with and learning from an experienced driver. It is also important to be
aware of the skill and experience of the person being pulled. Always have a second
person on board to observe the person in the water so the driver can concentrate on
operating the boat.
Everyone participating in a water sport should observe these guidelines:
1. Allow only capable swimmers to take part in any water sport.
2. Always wear an approved personal flotation device (PFD). Wearing a properly
designed PFD helps a stunned or unconscious person stay afloat.
3. Be considerate to others you share the water with.
